Biography

Birth

Isabella was the daughter of Nathaniel Bladen, Esq., of Hemsworth, Yorkshire, and Isabel Fairfax (baptized on 16 August 1637), daughter of William Fairfax, Knt., of Steeton, and Frances Chaloner.^[1][2] Nathaniel and Isabel had the following children:

• William, Esq., married to Ann Van Swearingen;^[1]
• Martin, Esq., married to Frances Unknown (surname possibly Jory);^[1]
• Isabella, the subject of this profile;
• Catherine, married to Martin Lister, Knt., and Chrles Lyttleton, Knt;^[1]
• Frances, married to William Hammond, Esq.;^[1] and
• Elizabeth, married to James Ruthven and Edward Hawke, Esq.^[1] She was the mother of Admiral Lord Hawke.^[3]

As the date Nathaniel and Isabel Fairfax were married is unknown, Isabella's date of birth has been estimated based upon her mother's baptismal date of 1637. Assuming a 25 year generational interval between parent and child, Isabella was likely born after 1662. Although the birth order of the siblings is not known, Isabel would have been 43 at the time of her son Martin's birth in 1680,^[4] with her other children likely having been born at earlier dates.

It is unknown whether Isabella married or had issue.
